Recycled Mouse (or "Eeeeeewwwwww!") (Reply to this comment)
by AinsleyJo
I'm finally getting around to making sense of my mess here, and let me tell you that I had this glue-tray-style mousetrap back in this one corner before I started serving my little guests DeCon down in the basement before they had the chance to climb up here.

But I had (and still have) furniture, boxes, and other heavy stuff between the trap and me--with the trap having already been successful at catching at least one mouse.

I hadn't been able to get to it, so it finally exploded.

I can see what I'll be dealing with in time, and I don't even want to think about it.

But it looks like a bunch of dark-gray dust bunnies in that blankity-blank tray, and, following your example, I've decided to name them collectively as The Sordid Ones!!!

Glad you like your new home!!!

Hugs!

Those damn bunnies got sucked up and recycled to my home! I caught them hopping thru my door just a minute ago. And talented bunnies they are....they had to hop up 31 flights to find me.
They send their regards and are telling bunny tales about you! Don't worry.......it's all good!

My best,
Deborah

Well, girl...there's a strategy to this....once you name them, and they become like little friends, it's hard to watch them go...great excuse for putting off house-cleaning!! Guess I really should start naming the soap scum in the bathroom...arrr, arrrr, arrrr! Thanks, Marsha!

definitely nuts, my Nedipooh, but I love it! And I smiled the whole way through this. You are my kind of woman, lovin' on those dust bunnies! I better start naming mine soon, don't you think? Yeah, I will. Thanks for the helpful household hints.

Better watch out for that Michael, though... give it long enough and he'll start changing colors.

And LOL@ Pete & Repeat!

This is not only funny as hell, but it's a damn good piece of writing! I s'pose you always miss something about a place when you move out, but you do leave a piece of yourself there as well...

Who knows, maybe you'll find Donnie and Marie in the new place one day... heh heh
See ya later!
Love you,

Yep, I may have sneaked Heckle and Jeckle into one of the boxes! They were so darn cute! And it still hasn't really sunk in yet that I won't have to deal with a Landlord anymore....probably will when I pay that first mortgage note! Thanks, Kath!!

I used to have dust bunnies too. I just left them alone (naturally--I'm a guy) and of course they reproduced. Eventually they covered the whole apartment floor. That's when I named them. I called them "Carpet."

I'm sure you'll miss your old friends, but the great thing about moving is that you will be making all kinds of new friends. Look! There are five of them there--right under the refrigerator!

Yes, Neddi - you are weird (Reply to this comment)
by Granniemose
a lovable, funny weird who has given me a new perspective on our dust bunnies. Ours seem to be used to a warmer climate, because they cover themselves with dog hair. So - as a charter member of the Epinion family weirdos, I am proud to call you sister (or daughter, or grandchild).

I wonder......... (Reply to this comment)
by kamel622

....if any of them stowed away in a box...where you couldn't see them. Hmmm, may not be long and you'll see more Walton offspring.

Fred and Ethel sound like great names...could Lucy and Desi be far behind?

Congrats on moving into your new home. How wonderful. No more Landlord....I can't even imagine it! ....kath
